Vastadia

The
whole island is full of dry stone walls, which were called ‘vastadia’ by the
locals. They were made to support the terrain and create lanes of cultivable
land. Stony cottages-‘spiladia,’ old distilleries and chapels are built between
them. Furthermore, there are ‘kalderimia’ (paved paths) and trails where the
foreign visitors who come to Nisyros mainly for this reason can walk.
